THE DRESBACH DEAL.
Disastrous Financial Show
ing of the Operators.
OVER 87,500,000 BEHIND.
Where the Money Came From.
The Nevada Bank Badly
Cinched.
Aisocluted Press Dispatches to the Hei:ald|
San Francisco, September 16.—
William Dresbach, one of the chief
manipulators of the recently collapsed
wheat deal has filed with the County
Recorder a full statement of his lia
bilities and assetts. Among the cred
itors who loaned Dresbach are the
following who are well secured by
wheat, which, if sold at the present
prices, would cover their claims: 0.
H. Kaufman, $100,000, Searles &
Stone, $380,000, Staub & Cooper, $75,
--000, Charles F. Reed, $050,000, Abby
Mi Parrott, $500,000, Starr &C 0.,543
-,-000, London, Paris & American Bank,
$140,000, Blum, Baldwin & Girvin,
$231,000.
WHEAT CONTRACTS.
Following this statement iB given
the list of wheat contracts, whereby
Dresbach agreed to receive 80,000 tons
of wheat from various parties at prices
ranging from $1.70 per cental to $2 per
cental. The current price now being
$1.25, the amounts due on the con
tracts are in dispute.
THE NEVADA RANK'S ACCOUNT.
The most startling exhibit made is
the amount of money owing to the
Nevada Bank on promissory notes.
The statement shows that Dresbach
owes the bank directly $550,000. He
also obtained from the bank $6,000,
--000 on a guarantee given by Charles
F. Reed, so that he received from the
bank in various ways fully $0,500,000.
reed's record.
Reed, who appears as guarantee for
this enormous loan, was formerly of
Yolo county, in this State, and owns a
large tract of land there. How he
satisfied the Nevada Bank is not
stated. Mrs. Faxon Steven of New
York, is his sister, and he has other
wealthy relatives.
OVERVALUED CARGOES.
In most of the assets there is given
the statement of fifty-seven vessels
bound for Liverpool, carrying 504,000
quarters of wheat. Dresbach drew
upon the consignees of this wheat in
England for more than the present
value of the cargoes, and the assets,
therefore, are of no value. Among
other assets are $278.40 of money on
hand.
ENGLISH ACCOUNTS.
There is also a book account of
$1,7!)5,090 owing to Dresbach by John
ston, Bosch & Co,, of England, but
this amount will not be more than
sufficient to cover the losses sustained
by this firm on the advances made to
cover the losses on 'wheat in Europe
on account of Dresbach. Henry
Coubrough, of London, is also men
tioned as owing $712,000, but the
value of the account is the same as in
the case of Johnston, Bosch & Co.
There are various otlier London ac
counts of less magnitude, but deemed
valueless.
ROSE.NKEI.d's INTEREST.
John Rosenfeld is also quoted as
owing $107,000. He was partner with
Dresbach, and this represents his share
of the loss on the joint account.
IHE SUMMARY
Shows as follows: Money borrowed
on wheat and secured, "$1,855,000;
owing to the Nevada Bank, $0,553,000 ;
losses on contracts, $;!00,000; losses
on cargoes en route, (686,000; other
losses, $200,000; making a total in
debtedness of more than $7,500,000,
which is practically unsecured, and
which is supposed to approximately
represent the loss in the great deal.
WHY FLOOD RESIGNED.
Taken as a whole, the exhibit is re
garded as one of the most remarkable
in the history of speculation in this
couutr.v, and'is accepted as a confes
sion oi' the necessity of the changes
which occurred three days ago in the
directory of tho Nevada Bank.
ROSENFELD FOLLOWS SUIT.
Late this afternoon John Rosenfeld
filed in the olSce of the County Re
corder a full statement of tbe liabili
ties and assets of his dealings in the
late wheat deal. The document was
seemigly tiled after office hours and
was secured too late to-night to make
thereof any intelligent statement
in brief. It is the same plan
as that tiled early in the after
noon by Wm. Dresbach, but differs
from the latter's statement in the
essential figures, owing to the fact
that Dresbach and Rosenlield shared
au unequal per cent, in their profits
and losses and dealings generally.
THE STATEMENTS UNSATISFACTORY.
Geo. W. McNear, who in general
represents the creditors of Dresbach &
Rosenfield, states that he is by no
. means satisfied with either of the
statements filed to-day, and that the
case will be pressed as speedily as
possible before the courts.

A sensational Story From Oro
vlllc.
San Francisco, September I<(.—A
Chronicle special from Oroville, Butte
county,, says: The day before yester
day a young man named Burchard
was driving a cow along the country
road when the cow suddenly ran out
around the thick bushes and towards
the fence. The driver quickly fol
lowed, when he discovered a lad of l(i
or 17 getting on a horse near by, and
in the dry fence a fire had just l>con
started.
DAMAGING EVIDENCE.
The lad was barefooted and there
were barefooted tracks up to the fire
and back to the house. Burchard ac
cused the lad of setting the fence on
fire which he denied and replied: "The
same man that burnt Frank Green
well out set this fire." Burchard find
ing it impossible to stamp out the fire
rode with all possible haste to give the
alarm. Every man in the vicinity
came promptly to the scone but the
fire had burnt too fast. It burnt tiie
fence and vineyard and only by des
perate efforts were two dwellings
saved. The fire was. fought for 12
anxious hours before it was stopped,
The young fellow is under arrest and
is in jail.
THE OREENWEI.L AFFAIR. ,
A barn containing a wagon, buggy,
driving animal and other property of
Frank Greenwell was burned ten days
ago and since then he has twice nar
rowly escaped assassination. One
bullet passed through bis coat and on
the second time one passed just over
his head and struck the door in front
of which be stood. Whether the lad
is the attempted assassin is not known
but his remark when discovered leads
to the belief that he is guilty of start
ing both fires.
Greenwell is a fine young orchard
ist, a brother of our County Treasurer
and no cause of ill will is known.

Funeral Obsequies of Our
Late Governor.
BEFITTING CEREMONIALS.
An Imposing Cavalcade Follows
the Dead Chieftain to His
Rcstinsr-Place.
I Associated Press Dispatches to the Hkrai.d,
San Francisco, September l(i. —
The State funeral of the late < iovernor,
Washington Bartlett, iv this city to
day, was probably the most impress
ive and remarkable in the history of
the State, or ever observed on the Pa
cific Coast upon the death of a public
official. There was almost a complete
Cessation of business, in accordance
with the proclamation of (iovernor
Waterman. Many public and private
buildings were draped in black or dis
played the usual white and black
streamers, though this observance was
not general. Pictures of the dead
Governor, wreathed in black, were,
however, numerously displayed.
EARLY VISITORS.
At an early hour a great, number of
people assembled in the vicinity of
Pioneer Hall, and wlien the doors
were opened at 7 :80, hundreds availed
themselves of the last opportunity to
look upon the face of the departed
(iovernor. A great number of floral
pieces arrived from Sacramento and
otlier places this morning, and were
placed in position around the cata
falque.
BUSINESS SUSPENDED.
The day was practically regarded as
a holiday, und no public business of
importance was transacted. The banks
were closed, as were also the Federal
and State courts. The Custom House
was open, but instructions were given
by the Collector to allow employees to
be excused who belonged to organiza
tions teking part in the obsequies.
The postofliee and a few Federal de
partments were formally open.
SCENE IN THE CHURCH.
The chief mourners and intimate
friends, army and navy officers and
specially invited guests assembled at
Pioneer Hall at 10 o'clock, and pro
ceeded to Trinity Church, where the
body was removed, and service com
menced at 11. The decorations at the
church were of a simple character.
The chancel railings were draped with
bunting, which was caught with fun
eral knots of white, and on the altar
and the rail faint outlines of smilax
were seen. The vessels about the
altar were filled witli choice plants
and flowers.
ROUTE OF THE ROAD.
Starting from Rogers, on the Atlan-'
tic and Pacific:, the road will run about
thirty miles in a southwesterly direc
tion, intersecting the Southern Pacific
at or near Rosamond, and forming the
base of a railroad triangle, of which
Mojave will be the apex. Then it will
take a northwesterly turn, and for
about fifty miles there will be some
heavy work, the worst, in fact, on the
whole route. The line is said to be
staked out on both sides of Tu
lare Lake, but the eastern side
w ill no rloubt be chosen in coming
north, although it will lead the road
within ten miles of the Southern Pa
cific in some places. Above Tulare
Lake the road will run almost due
west for about twenty miles and will
then cross the San Joaquin river and
proceed along its western bank for
some distance northward. The old
survey of the Sau Francisco and At
lantic line running by way of Fire
baugh, Hill's Ferry anil Grayson will
be adopted, with some modifications,
and then the road will wind up
through the Contra Costa hills be
tween Byron and Lathrop to Antioch,
which will be the terminus.
IS IT FOR THE SANTA FE?
"The question now arises, has this
company anything to do with the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe? I
believe it has," said the gentleman.
EPISCOPALIAN RITES.
The simplicity observed in the deco
ration of the church was in accordance
with the wishes of the family. The
ceremonies at the church consisted of
the regular Episcopalian service for
the burial of the dead, and were con
ducted by Rev. Dr. Beers in a very
impressive manner. Vocal and in
strumental music was furnished by
local talent.
THE PROCESSION.
At the conclusion of the services in
the church, at 11:40, the funeral pro
cession proceeded at once to the ceme
tery. The divisions were eight in
number and rested on all the streets
in the vicinity of the church, and
moved at the word of command down
Powell street to Market, to Golden
Gate avenue, to Steiner street, to Bush
street, and thence to the cemetery.
The procession was headed by a diat
talion of police, followed by (irand
Marshal ( ieneral \V. H. Dimond and
staff.
PROMINENT PERSONS PRESENT.
In the First Division were the U. S.
troops, in command of Col. J. H.
Dickenson. The funeral cortege fol
lowed tho military.
In the Second Division were car
riages containing Governor Waterman,
Lieutenant-Governor S. M, White and
Secretary M. 1). Borruck, followed by
the Army, Navy, Federal and State
officers.
The other divisions were composed
of civic societies, including the Pio
neers, Native Sons, Grand Army, ex-
Confederate Veterans, Veteran Fire
men of this city and New York, Board
of Trade and the Bar Association.
A SOLEMN SCENE.
Both sides of the streets, all along
the line of march, were crowded with
thousands of people, all of whom
seemed impressed with the solemnity
of the occasion.
At Buchanan street, the escorting
column with the exception of the
special escort wheeled into line and
presented arms to the funeral cortege,
as it passed by. The parade was dis
missed except the special military es
cort, which proceeded to the ceme
tery and acted as the firing party.
CLOSING CEREMONIES.
The procession arrived at the ceme
tery soon after 2 o'clock, and the body
was immediately placed in a tempo
rary vault.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
A few minutes after ten o'clock the
family of the deceased in deep mourn
ing and preceded by Columbus Bart
lett ascended the steps of the cata
falque in the Pioneer building and
took a last look at the face of their
relative. Even those whose business
required them to be present turned
away from the scene in silent respect
for the grief of the family: Then
Governor Waterman, Lieutenant-Gov
ernor Stephen M. White, President
pro-tern of the Senate and a number
ot state ollicers advanced and the
coffin was closed. The non-commis
sioned stafT of the Third regiment act
ing as casket bearers with colors
draped in black bore tho coffin, which
! was covered witli a black pall, out to
tho corner of Fourth street.

' Till: FIREMEN'S FfjAOS.
Mrs. Cleveland's Non-Attendance
not to be Misinterpreted.
New York, September 10. —Letters
are made public to-night regarding the
declination of Mrs. Cleveland of the
invitation to present certain flags to
the Fire Department of this city on
the ground that the President himself
was not also invited. The first is from
President Beckman of' the Board of
Aldermen to President Cleveland,
saying in substance that tbe matter
has been misinterpreted by a portion
of the public, and assuring the Presi
dent that in nothing could the city be
less wanting than in welcome and
hospitality in the fullest measure to
one whom it will delight to honor
(meaning the President).
THE PRESIDENT'S REPLY.
President Cleveland, replied at
length, recognizing the misinterpreta
tion, and saying: "Neither Mrs.
Cleveland nor myself had the slight
est idea of any discourtesy being in
tended. Mrs. Cleveland was simply
not willing to assume such a public
role entirely independent of her hus
band." The President is now glad that
she declined, because if the plain
meaning of her declination is distort
ed lie is sure that her conduct would
have been if she had accepted, al
though they regret .::.-y d:.<uppuiut
ment to tho people or firemen of New
York.

THE PRESIDENT'S SPEECH.
A reception was tendered to the
President this morning by the Com
mercial Exchange.
President Colly, of the Commercial
Exchange introduced the President,
who said; "I am glad to have an op
portunity to meet so large a represent
ation of business men of Philadelphia.
It is well that we should not entirely
forget in the midst of our jubilee that
the aim and purpose of good govern
ment tends after all to the advance
ment of the material interests of the
people and the increase of their trade
and commerce. The thought has
sometimes occurred to me that in the
hurry and rush of business there
might well be infused a little
MORE PATRIOTISM
Than we are wont to see, and a little
more recognition of faith, that whole
some political sentiment that is closely
related not only to the general good,
but to the general success of business.
Of course our citizens engaged in busi
ness are quick to see the tearing of
any policy which the government may
adopt as effects their
PERSONAL SUCCESS
And their accumulation ; but I would
like to see that broad and patriotic
sentiment among them which can see
beyond their peculiar personal inter
ests, and which can recognize that the
advancement of the entire country is
the object for which they may well
strive.
rENURIOUSNESS ATTACKED.
Must we always look for the politi
cal opinions of our business men
precisely where they suppose their
immediate pecuniary advantage is
found. I know how vain it is to hope
for an eradication of selfish motives
in all affairs of life; but I am reminded
that we celebrate to-day the triumph
of patriotism over selfishness.
A'GRAND CONSTITUTION.
Will any one say that the con
cessions of the constitution were not
well made, or that we are not to-day
in full enjoyment of the blessings
resulting from the due regard for all
conflicting interests represented by
the different States, winch were united
a hundred years ago ?
I believe that the complete bene
fits promised to the people by our
form of government can bo secured
only by the exercise of the same spirit
of toleration for each other's rights
and interests in which it had its birth.
This spirit will prevail when the busi
ness men of the country cultivate
political THOUGHT;
When they cease to eschew participa
tion in political actions,and when such
thoughts and action are guided by
better motives than purely for selfish
and exclusive benefit. lam of opin
ion that there is no place in the coun
try where such conditions can be so
properly and successfully maintained
as here among the enughtened and
enterprising business men of Philadel
phia."

An interesting clinch took place be

S. Lockwood on the way to the light
ship, in which the Lockwood appar
ently showed that the Scotch visitor's
speed is greatly overestimated. The
Lockwood, at the Homer Beacon, was
a mile and a half behind the
Thistle. She gradually over
hauled the foreigner until
finally, over the bar, both vessels were
sailing on even terms. There seemed
no question but that the Thistle was
